[Vision2020] Treating the Dead

[Donovan Arnold]

Working in a Nursing home, I always felt that after someone died, they were still in the room with me. But conventional science told me that after 5 minutes of stopped breathing and no pulse, all the oxygen to the brain stopped and the cells died within a few minutes. But what if conventional medical knowledge was wrong? What if the cells in the brain and body stayed alive for hours after death. What if it was in fact the sudden return of oxygen that triggered the death of the cells in a process called  "reperfusion", not the actual lack of oxygen because cells go into hibernation? 
   
  It appears as though that is in fact the case according to recent medical findings. When someone dies of a heart attack, for example, the brain cells aren't in fact dead, they are still alive for hours. If someone could bring oxygen back to those cells in a few hours without the cells dying, they person could be brought back to life.
